Kumquats

Sweet & sour all in one!

This thin-skinned fruit originated in China and it is typically a "winter" fruit available from about October to March..

Fascinating Fact...

Kumquats taste best if gently rolled between your fingers to release the essential oils in the rind.

Kumquats are usually eaten whole, skin and all. The peel is sweet and may be eaten separately but it makes a nice contrast to the sourness of the pulp and seeds. They are often used as a garnish.
